Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II has urged President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to do everything in his power to guarantee a peaceful election on December 7, 2024.

The Asantehene made this plea, when the President paid a courtesy call to the Manhyia Palace to thank him and the indigenous people for their steadfast support.

Speaking separately to the Ashanti Regional House of Chiefs, President Akufo-Addo warned that if voters support former President John Mahama in the next elections, the Ashanti Region may be neglected and important development projects may be shelved.

During his three-day Ashanti Region tour, President Akufo-Addo stopped by the Manhyia Palace, where the Asantehene asked him to maintain a  peaceful electoral process for the December 7 elections. "He has promised to ensure a peaceful election and I believe he will do exactly that.
